Al Gore and "An Inconvenient Truth"
                                                                                   By Dulce Bell-Bulley


I had the mixed pleasure of snuggling up with my husband in a chilly movie theater and watching Al Gore's movie: "An Inconvenient Truth". It was a very powerful film.

Al Gore ran for the USA Presidency in 2000 and was defeated by George W. Bush under confusing circumstances. Gore won the popular vote, but lost the electoral one. Why do I mention this? Because Al Gore mentions it in the movie. The movie was as much about Al Gore as it was about global warming.

Al Gore is the perfect person to talk about global warming. He's an Aries, the first fire sign. Global warming is a hot topic, a fire topic. Al Gore spreads the news like the preacher he really is. His Aries Sun shines in the 9th house of religion. Global warming is his mission. If anyone is qualified to talk about fire, it is Al Gore. He knows the element intimately having been burned a time or two.

With dramatic and fiery Leo rising, Al Gore must be in the spotlight. With a packed first house of identity, Al Gore can be very hard on himself. Now, as he experiences his second Saturn return, Mr. Gore is feeling tremendous pressure to succeed. Thus this movie is not only about how he sees himself, and his life, but "An Inconvenient Truth" is also his duty. He truly feels that he must share what he knows, and how he sees the situation.

As for the movie - certainly the Arial Sea is dry. Lake Chad is gone, and temperatures are rising all over the world. I cannot dispute the facts, but I cannot live in that fear. In my small way I shall make a difference. I'll plant trees, reduce my carbon footprint, and meditate on a world green and beautiful. And I thank Al Gore for bringing this very important topic to my attention.
